EMOR Yichus, BANK CRISIS, Stolen Software, DEMONS, Flat Earth Trap - Stump The Rabbi (162)

the holy Torah in tells us about the kohanim being the sons of Aon lets us know about who they can marry who they can't marry reminds us about how we need to behave when we're around kuim and in fact even if we're not it tells us about all of the different details of the Ken's life but it does a few things that perhaps we need to ask number one if they they're obviously they're obviously the sons ofon so why is the purpose of reminding us that they're the sons of Aon even more so what does it have to do with you and I if we're not Kim and last but not least what's the connection between the Cohen who he can marry who he can't marry to the blasphemer at the end of the Paras and how is that story one of the most important stories in your life today this and much more is going to be discussed in tonight's Sho including many questions from from a live crowd that's online that's without Mercy when they ask questions a couple of hours worth of questions many interesting answers a little bit of frustration some issues but needless to say lots of Truth lots of Kusa and lots of fun thanks for watching enjoy it share it and remember the whole purpose of everything that we do is to be holy we're back here on our weekly stump we after you guys will ask some questions and will give us the answers tonight's you is for the aavid and all of is and all the righteous Noah that continue to watch and learn from our shim and certainly support our organization and all the wonderful things that we're doing uh brief update lots of good things are happening at the organization we have a uh uh a huge Order of Books coming to ER is and as well to the United States uh both uh my book as well as re F's books uh both are in Hebrew only right now now uh but uh we have a huge order coming into

uh I think I believe sometime next week and uh the us it's going to be uh sometime next month so probably another three or four weeks uh but certainly uh there's other things to order from the kir store go to k store.org and there's plenty of things that you can uh order for free to distribute in your community both in English as well as in uh Hebrew uh aside from that also want to remind everybody that we have a uh extraordinary new program uh new podcast coming up soon uh it's uh an interview of uh some of you that are watching some of you that uh uh are literally uh uh have been part of our lives and we've been part of yours for the last several years of the Chua Stories the extraordinary journeys of chuva that different people have had anybody that wants to be part of the show can uh contact me or or send an email to Sunny be.org and uh we'll uh do our best to uh uh coordinate with you to do a recording as well as to include you in the first season right now we are pretty much uh booked we have already about uh 20 or so recordings but B there's going to be other Seasons to follow because there's a lot of stories uh so with that being said uh let's get into it there's a lot of interesting things that we can learn fromat and uh this is after we have learned about the death of Aon quen's Sons we've learned about the the different warnings that aadh gave us in the uh you know when the issues of morality we've learned a lot of different things over the last several weeks things that we could apply to our lives today in this upside down World things that we could uh really take into account uh into the world today as we start seeing things becoming more and more shaky uh you know although uh I don't follow the uh the markets anywhere nearly as closely uh as I used to when I was on Wall Street for 20 years or almost 20 years um you know news comes uh comes through one way or the other people ask questions uh different uh types of things hit my desk and uh quite frankly some of the things that we talked about uh I would say about a year ago of how there's going to be a major crisis uh happening it seems like some of these uh things are quite in fact happening uh there are uh major problems in the uh banking sector where the small banks are simply collapsing and by small Banks usually when people hear a small Bank uh they think it's a oh yeah it's a little Rinky Dink operation with maybe two or three or five little local branches you know uh a couple of farmers and uh and plumbers are their biggest clients and that's it no no small banks in America uh is by no means small in comparison to uh the rest of the world and uh when you see a company uh like uh first uh First Republic that uh less than a year ago was uh worth nearly 30 billion do that was their Market valuation nearly $30 billion branches around the country we actually used to deal with them uh quite frankly they're a terrible Bank uh but uh to go from $30 billion to completely bankrupt inside of a few weeks is literally unbelievable even in 2008 when I was still on the market things like this didn't quite happen as quickly now this is after the uh you know the uh the couple of other bank SVG and the signature bank already declared bankruptcy now there's another one today that's announcing that uh they're up for sale which in so many words means that according to the uh uh the standards of the uh FDIC the uh uh what's required from the banking industry they simply don't have enough uh money to close the month that's in essence what it means if we're looking for a buyer that means that we cannot sustain ourselves and this is a bank that just literally in the last year was worth close to $15 billion and but now now this uh other bank is uh also going to be declaring bankruptcy literally within the next couple of weeks if not by tomorrow uh so you're seeing that these banks are just disappearing off the map of course some of the larger banks are capitalizing on it and certainly getting the the backings uh of the government the backings of different regulation that they have the laws but it shows you of how the world is a world of Lies where one day you're sitting pretty you're thinking that you are worth $30 billion and a few weeks later you're worth literally zero they couldn't even sell themselves like a normal Bank you know banks used to merge and and and uh uh and sell themselves on a regular basis especially the small banks in the 1990s when I first got into the business it was a very big uh deal to invest in small Banks because you were almost guaranteed somebody was going to buy them that's how all the big Banks became big uh but uh now you have these companies that uh by uh you know 20 years St 20 years ago standards they're considered big Banks today they're considered small Banks worth $30 billion the next day Zero they couldn't even sell themselves for uh you know for uh a reasonable price at least to get their shareholders something nothing absolutely nothing and then you have one after another collapsing why because they couldn't handle interest rates going up if you cannot handle the fluctuation in interest rates that means you should have never been in the banking sector to begin with this is like saying a fireman cannot handle fires or better yet he cannot handle water or a police policeman cannot handle a gun you know sort of like the policemen in Israel unfortunately the government is such a Zionist idiot uh uh type of mentality that they put the fear of God into the soldiers and to the policemen in their fighting of crime where if they kill the terrorist that has killed several people already but if they kill him after he stopped killing and he's not in the process of killing anybody else that policeman that Soldier is going to jail so it's just you know in so many words the police over there are literally worse than the victims now if you told the police officers in New York if you told the police officers in New Jersey and other other states in Texas you can't handle a gun you can't shoot the criminal they look at you like what what are you talking about how do you want to be a police officer when I tried to explain some of these things to Rabbi frim about how different it is how the regulation is different how the laws are different how the attitude is different where literally if somebody gets pulled over you're in America and for whatever reason or another the the cop has uh you know has the hots for this guy doesn't like him you know thinks that he's going to do something wrong tells you to put the your hands on the steering wheel if you don't obey after the couple of times that he tells you to do it you're going to see a gun pointed at you and guess what many times we've heard horrible stories this is by no means justifying this aggressive behavior but just to show you the difference the difference in mentality but if a person is pulled over by a police officer or even simply stopped in the middle of the street for whatever reason and that person just goes into their pocket even if it's to I don't know take out a cigarette take out their wallet immediately the police officers take their guns out and sometimes act too quickly and shoot and unfortunately there is one too many stories like that so if you tell a police officer you cannot use a gun anymore you're simply going to have all of the police officers in America quit why because they need them they need to protect themselves they need to protect the people fine no problem but when you tell the people that are running the banking sector that they're supposed to be able to handle interest rate fluctuation and the fluctuation of the Investments that the bank is putting the uh the the people money and the bank's money into the treasuries and so on they have to Simply act accordingly they can't they simply can't and they're collapsing one after another meaning that if you're not a bank that's comprised of investment bankers experts in trading similar to the people that I used to rub elbows with your bank is going to go bankrupt and one of the things I would recommend to you guys I don't know where you're located obviously there's people all over the world that are watching this shim one thing I can recommend to you guys I can't tell you about what are you going to do with your Investments Buy sell I've already spoken about that some people listened to me some people didn't listen to me that's water on the bridge one thing I can tell you whatever Bank you're using right now make sure it's a really big Bank you know the sort of bank that's too big to fail a uh a Chase Bank a TD Bank a uh I don't know one of these really gigantic Banks where even if it fails where it you know does something stupid and they lose a bunch of money the Govern has to bail them out why because if they don't the entire system will collapse again even worse than what it did 15 years ago so make sure that whatever Bank you're using is a big bank and sometimes it's a uh people say oh you know what maybe we should just uh have everything in cash cash in today's world is worthless having cash is like having a collection of marbles it's not worth anything you can't really do much with it especially if it's significant amount of cash if you have a few hundred obviously everybody needs some type of money in cash but if you're talking about significant money enough money to to buy something to buy a car to buy a house needless to say to buy things that are even more expensive than your uh typical house this is not the type of money you could have in cash why simple you can't use it you can't go into uh into some place and say listen I want to buy this building with uh this uh $1 million for you know of $100 bills they're simply going to arrest you they're not going to accept your money they're think you're a mobster they're going to think that you're some type of Mafia they're not going to accept this guy so cash is is useless Bitcoins I've been useless since the beginning and people have to realize that it's not about that the world is collapsing and everything is going to go to zero quite yet but rather aadh is simply you know pushing the button just to see when we're going to start paying attention to him and realize that it's all an illusion the house that you've spent the last 2 years building and investing every penny into it's an illusion that fancy car that you're overpaying for it's an illusion those expensive pieces of jewelry that you made such a big deal about that you were almost willing to divorce your husband if he didn't buy him for you illusion those $500 or $1,000 pair of shoes illusion all of those things are an illusion but unfortunately people get so wrapped up into these expensive watches and rings and and and cars and the whole fancy schmancy stuff that the Satan keeps them busy and away from thinking about what really actually matters in life so what Hashem is doing now is trying to show you look you see that bank that bank has been around for decades a year ago it was worth $30 billion do you know what a b it's that's that's bigger than some countries today it's worth zero why a few morons applied for a job pretending that they could actually trade all they had was maybe a uh a a two-year college degree and they were able to click on a computer they got the job and they managed a $30 billion bank and they managed to literally put it under the ground and they weren't the only ones don't worry there are plenty other ones in Silicon Valley Bank Signature Bank Pacific Bank these Regional Banks don't have experts like the Goldman saches and the chases and the big banks of the world they don't have the budget for it they don't have the knoow for it they never needed it why because you had 15 years of a bull market 15 years of an illusion becoming magnified by the day so of course a lot of the conspiracy theorists are going to say see this is what proof that there's going to be a new world order and they want everything to become digitized and they want everything to become zero and everyone's going to become slaves and some other guy that has nothing to do with his life made a whole movie about how everybody's going to live in little bunkers with little helicopters flying over them and telling them that they're not allowed to leave the house this please stop wasting your time in living in Illusions that's an illusion and that's an illusion the only thing that's real is the instructions from of how to live and what to do when certain things change how to live and what to do when certain things change how to adjust so we have the Torah because the Torah is something that doesn't change change no matter the weather no matter the times and this is one of the things that a is trying to push in this week's Paras but not referring to financial crisis not referring to anything I just spoke about rather referring about whether you know who you are or who you want to be who you are if you are already a Jew who you want to be if you want to be a Jew and who you should be if you're not so sure if you should be a Jew yet why there's nothing greater than being a Jew and anyone that can convert certainly should as soon as possible and simply do anything they can to do it why the more you learn tah the more you realize how much you need it and unfortunately some people don't realize it and they have opportunities to convert and they simply don't do it others don't uh don't try hard enough others have many difficulties where even if they try their test is bigger than uh than most people where they want to do it already yesterday but they're probably not going to succeed for another year or two years or 5 years everything is decided by hasem of when you're going to succeed especially when it comes to conversion uh and and everything else but a person has to exert their effort because we're not judged based on our success we're judged based on our effort so here we have parat first and foremost as we discussed last night gives us a little bit of a slap in the face for all of us husbands for all of the wives everyone gets a little slap in the face at the beginning of the par why it tells you how marriage is supposed to be and what do you have to show for it says these Kim they're only allowed to you know become impure in in case somebody in case somebody dies they're only allowed to show up to the funeral to be part of it if that person that died is a close relative of theirs and the first it says talks about the father the mother the son the daughter but when it comes to wife it says it's the first thing mentioned what's his flesh his flesh if his flesh died meaning his other half meaning a part of him then of course he's allowed to imp purify himself so here we the Torah is teaching us what is the difference between marriage according to the Torah and marriage according to the world if it's marriage according to the world then it's more like a business transaction so long as the interest rates stay down so long as you fulfill my needs so long as things are easy I'm in the second things change the second things go down or God forbid they go up I'm out of here I'm out of here people break people break marriages like literally they uh you know they they they change uh they change gas from the gas stations as soon as things get difficult they leave why because she's not part of his flesh he's not part of her flesh marriage according to the tah on the other hand there is no such thing as thinking maybe we should get a divorce that's not even a thought why because how do you Divorce Yourself we have a problem sure we have problems but we fix them together we have fun sure we have fun and we have fun together all of the things that happen in life it's together why she's me and I'm her so anyone that doesn't feel like their spouse is a part of their flesh first thing in this parasha is to remind you you're not doing a good job if you're overly consumed with your business with your hobbies with your financial problems with all of these other things and the thought of your spouse simply doesn't appear in your head unless you're pressed for it you're not doing a good job so that's the first thing we mentioned after that we see that aadh tells us that these kohanim these kohanim are treated differently they're only allowed to marry certain people they're only allowed to uh uh be in certain places but interestingly enough in the beginning of the par it says hem says to Moshe say to the quim the sons of Aon well obviously the quim are the sons of Aron who else are they going to be the sons of Dan the sons of of shuel the sons of who else of course they're the sons of Aon hasem specifically made sure that that's the case so why mention the sons of Aon if we already know if theim by default that means that they're sons of Aon the Z in says that's because a wants you to know who you are meaning remind you because the evil inclination the yet that comes in the form of business Fame Fortune lust food all types of things all of the materialism of the world which certainly you need part of it to to to survive you need part of it to do all types of things but it's not life it's not the purpose of life it's simply tools no different than a Hammer our nail but the evil inclination the Satan convinces you that that's the purpose and helps you forget who you really are and why you're even here and if you don't know who you are then certainly you don't know your purpose and if you don't know your purpose it is impossible for you to fulfill it and a person that lives a purposeless life unfort fortunately will suffer more than anybody else both during their life and after during the eternal life where there's judgment so wants to make sure that even theim this special group of people that are part of am that have unique jobs unique people that they're allowed to marry unique conditions if they don't marry conditions if they violate certain laws for example one of the things we see is that a b a daughter of a Quin not even a Quin himself but a daughter of a Quin if she commits adultery a horrendous crime which is punishable by death at the time of of the of of mosu and the today unfortunately it's praised to commit adultery in some parts of the society says if somebody commits adultery there's a death penalty today it's a Heavenly death penalty but if it's a daughter of a kuen that committed adultery she suffers even more her death penalty is even worse than any other adulterer why because she not only made a sin of committing adultery but she also so shamed the Cohen family and therefore her death is fire it's the debated among and the of whether fire is worse than stoning he says fire is worse than stoning the rest of the that stoning is the worst death penalty either way the person dies according you know that's what you're thinking but trust me when I tell you there is a lot of value to it you go to is an entire section that discusses why fire is worth stoning is worth uh the details of how it actually happens it's not like they just have a bonfire and they throw somebody in there it's something completely different they take a uh uh um in so many words they take Liquid Fire uh and they pour it down the throat of a person and person dies from inside they don't burn the outside point being is this horrific death penalty is worth worse than the death penalty that a uh uh another woman that was an adulter gets it's worse it's worse than a death penalty than even the guy that she cheated on her husband with meaning she was married to a Cohen she cheated on the Coen with some guy both of them get a death penalty hers is worse than his though why because she shamed the name of the Coen so we see here that the Quan is reminded of who they are this special lineage this special people within a people these special conditions and warnings but why do we all need to do one not allim only some of us arean because some of the conditions that they have are also a reminder to us of what we have you see one of the conditions that the kohen has if he wants to get married is that he is not allowed to marry a Zona what is a Zona as we discussed last night in more details it's any woman that was intimate with somebody that's forbidden to her this is incest this is also intimacy before uh before marriage because she's nid meaning that a woman that has a boyfriend according to the Torah is given the same name as a prostitute because all she's doing is giving herself without reason the fact that the prostitute charges money for it simply makes her a better capitalist but is in the eyes of Heaven they're both called the same why she treats herself like a garbage pale you're treating yourself like a garbage pale why you're a princess you're the daughter of God why are you allowing all these people to touch you modesty is such a critical part of a woman that if she's not modest she does no of how to respect herself because she doesn't know her selfworth she's giving herself to whoever and whatever some women get to such a horrible condition spiritually that they become addicted to the physical lust as if they're a horse this is a tragedy that has become very much standard in society and rarely do you ever hear anybody talking about it at least not in a realistic way now nobody wants their daughter to be that nobody wants their wife to do that but they have no problem if somebody else's daughter or wife is doing it it's no problem that somebody else is suffering but you no no you want everything perfect this is the hypocrisy in the world of Lies so a woman that values herself first and foremost needs to look at the conditions here do I want to even if you don't want to marry aen do you really want to have the title of zonah next to your name in the in the eyes of of of your creator your father in Heaven obviously not now what about if you made a mistake you didn't know this you can do Chu you can do chuva stop making the sin and start fresh start fresh from now on you stop sinning this is worth a fortune this is worth even more than if you would have never sinned why because now the you know the taste of sin if you will and you still stop it the says that a person that does Chu is considered higher than someone that has never sinned because a person that does Chua still has the desires for the Forbidden whereas a person that's never sinned doesn't have the same desires has desires but not the same it's sort of like a person that tried drugs got addicted them and then stopped certainly still has certain desires that are very very different than somebody never tried drugs so here the Tora is telling us my dear but is don't change the rules don't change your value know who you are know who you're supposed to be the to then tells us that the kohen can only marry a virgin because we cannot take a risk that if the woman lied or if the woman was promiscuous if the woman did things that are forbidden that the Ken would marry her why because then all of his kids would not be considered they would be considered and the is that if a Coen marries a woman that's forbidden to him the bed Dean forces him to divorce her why you are a special person you're within a special conditions furthermore we see that certain people that care less about the laws of God violate his name desecrate his name go against him in different ways there are certain sins that have the punishment of and and T says that Soul be cut off from before me I am hem says Hashem chapter 22 verse um three now ulos he when he translates these words he says the person shall be eliminated mean now the verse itself says meaning this the verse says the soul will be cut off but ulos translates the person will be cut off to teach us that when there is a cut off when there's a de it's a multifaceted punishment both the body and the Soul get punished and therefore says the person meaning everything he has a punishment in this world person that doesn't understand what is that means that he's liable to Die Young liable to have his kids die during his lifetime uh horrible horrible things during a uh during the time this is the reason why the sages would celebrate their 60th birthday because once you've once you've lived long enough to get to 60 years old that means you weren't punished for the in this life doesn't mean that you don't have din on your account but at least you didn't get punished in this world so ulos wants to make sure that we understand that it's not just the soul that suffers from this crime but the body too furthermore warns a daughter of a Coen not only for her not to commit adultery because of the what we discussed but also to be very very selective with who she marries a daughter of a quen should not marry a commoner if she marries a commoner she's in essence kicked out of the family if you will she still obviously is able to visit she's still able to uh uh to come for a barbecue there's no problem with that part but I'm talking about the spiritual spiritually elevated status of the Ken that she had is lost if she marries a commoner why she's no longer allowed to eat from theban that are only for the uh for the because she married a commoner in fact says that a man should never allow his daughter to marry a commoner what's a commoner a person that's a regular person ignoramus doesn't know much Tora doesn't really care much about it only focus about business only focus about sports only focus about materialism doesn't really spend much time time knowing the purpose of life or caring about the purpose of life never allow your daughters to marry such such a person the says it's like allowing your daughter to go marry a lion just like a lion does what he does and then throws away the Lioness those people that don't learn tah also do the same thing to their wives why for them it's all physical there's no nothing special about it and as soon as it the rates go up or the rates go down or it there too much pressure they change they change it's like changing shirts they change wives never allow your daughter to marry a commoner a regular person that doesn't want toat to be a priority in their life this doesn't mean that everybody has to become a Torah scholar but certainly everyone has to learn toah in order to know not just why we live here but how to live here in this world later on the T talks about the that we're allowed to bring to a this is something we already heard about in Genesis but here to tells us that the cattle or the flock that are brought as a sacrifice cannot be blemished in any way they have to be beautiful perfect animals if they have any type of blemish on them they're missing an eye they have a broken lip missing an ear uh you know an extra toe an extra limb you know extra leg you can no longer bring them as a sacrifice you could eat them if they're you know kosher animals you could still eat them but you cannot bring them as a sacrifice now the question I had when I saw this was wait a minute you have yourself a cow you have a cow now this cow you know what it wants in life it wants to be like the cow ofi when he went and fought against and all 900 of his false prophets he told them listen you have these false prophets they say that there's you know their their Idols are talking their Idols know what they're okay fine bring all of them to the mountain we're going to bring I'm going to bring a kban and all of them are going to bring a sacrifice and whoever has a fire from heaven consume their sacrifice that we know is the real prophet now the wife of she knew they're all false prophets but she loved idolatry and she hated the Tora even more than a she was AIP and a half she made sure to kill every Prophet she could get our hands into now this Zona she made sure that not all the prophets go why what if this plan doesn't work what do you mean what the plans work what do they do they had a b they had like a stage that they're going to put the sacrifice on the animal and supposed to have a fire from heaven but how you going have a fire from heaven when you're a false prophet so they had a guy hide overnight under the uh under the stage and he was supposed to light the fire from below so she said listen if the plan doesn't work we're going to lose all of our false prophets so only 450 out of the 900 prophets showed up of course the plan didn't work cuzu sent one of his Messengers which was a snake to go kill the guy that was hiding under the stage Eli has the fire of Heaven come down it consumes the cow it consumes the the uh the stage it consumes the water it consumes the ground literally a special fire from heaven came for El Nai now on the way to the stage El Nai is bringing two cows he's bringing in two cows one for the once's for the wicked people one for himself one of the cows starts talking to say I don't understand it's not fair why do I have to be the cow that goes to the idol worshippers and my brother he's my twin brother over here can go with you for hasem I want to be it what does that mean first of all it means this cow has some it knows what it's about to happen into it and it's perfectly happy why he wants to be a sacrifice but he doesn't want to be a sacrifice for Idol worshippers tells don't worry more K is going to come from you than even your brother why because everyone's going to see these are false prophets and therefore they're going to do cha but the second thing we learn is that this cow wants to be sacrificed that's his dream in life and asem opened its mouth to speak toi just like he opened the mouth of the donkey of bam so back to our question what if you have a cow and this cow it's dream in life is to become a sacrifice to God but unfortunately it's born with a fifth leg all of his friends and family members have four legs he has five legs one hanging out from the side now is it his fault that he has a mo there has defect and he can't achieve his dream sort of like the Ken or exactly like the Ken where it says that if the Ken has a uni brow or he has any other defect he's blind he's deaf he has an extra limb an extra finger any type of defect he cannot be one of the people that brings the sacrifices there are other special jobs that he can do within the bet mikdash but the high level jobs he can't get why he has a defect now who created this cow with an extra leg who created this Coen with a unibrow or with a uh extra finger who created him God so why is God telling us these people they have a defect they can't they can't serve me wait a minute why not I didn't do anything I didn't choose to be born with an extra leg I didn't choose to have an extra a uh extra finger why is it my fault that I was born blind I want to serve you I want to be a sacrifice I want to be a Quin that's a question but the simple answer what's the simple answer as we said last night says there's no such thing as death without sin no such thing as suffering without sin meaning runs the world based on measure for measure something happens you do something that's going to be something that's going to effect cause and effect now sometimes the cause is during a person's life but the effect is after they die and in fact the effect is that they have to come back to this life as a reincarnation as as we discussed in last night's Jewish intimacy sh in details he has to come back as an animal he has to come back as another human being he has to come back either way to fix the mistake that he made fix the mistake she made so you see the Cohen is not born with a defect for no reason the animal is also not born with a defect for a reason and their Des desire to serve AEM is that high also for a reason it's all part of what was the original sin that they did in their previous life that caused them to come back here in the first place meaning that aadh who saw that this person made a mistake now you didn't want to send this person this soul to complete Annihilation and destroy the soul it didn't warrant that but it still needed to fix needed to fix this mistake so you had to bring it into this life where it would actually desire to do something that it can't do why because hasem did not allow it to do it it didn't meet the standards so that suffering that they get is part of their tikun is part of their tun meaning that even the animal it's no such thing as it's not my fault I didn't choose to be born this way no no you did when you made that act that was against God you chose this you chose this next we learn about how we have to be very careful when we have animals there certain animals that have defects and they all out to be uh sacrifices but sometimes those defects are not what they're born with rather what happens to them during their life from the hands of man and T says that if they have the uh uh defect where their uh testicles are crushed pulverized detached severed do not bring as an offering before hasem and do not do so in your hand now we understand the literal of why he says do not bring it as a sacrifice before hasem what does it mean do not do so in your in your land explained that this is the prohibition of neutering animals not allow to lunar animals you have an animal you don't want it to procreate sell the animal not allowed to if you're a Jew you're not allowed to neuter animals why it is considered cruel same thing if a person has a uh two different types of animals let's say a ox and a uh donkey he's not allowed to have them work side by side why it's considered cruel crty one is stronger than the other and it could create a problem it certainly creates a problem immediately so much so says that if we see somebody that has a donkey and a uh another species of an animal could be an ox could be a goat any two species that are working side by side immediately you stop the guy you warn him he doesn't uh he doesn't want to listen bring him to the bed get M coat why about it's just animals yeah yeah it's just animals just animals created by God cannot be cruel to animals next toat talks about the calendar of how the Jewish holidays are unique unlike the holidays of other religions falsity the heresy of Islam where their holidays will uh base themselves on a uh Gregorian calendar we have our Hebrew calendar our Jewish calendar that is dependent on the solar on the moon but it's not just the moon it's also also The Sun Also the solar both lunar and so lunar is the moon solar is the sun why do we need both because Torah tells us that our holidays are always on the same lunar day so for example P has to be on the 15th of Nissan Nissan is based on a lunar calendar but the Torah says that P also has to be during the Spring which is determined based on the solar the Sun so this is why the Hebrew calendar every two to three years there is a leap here there's an extra month that is added to the calendar at the end of Adar before Nissan starts it's called ad second ad the m in chapter four The Last Mish talks about how made a mistake and he added a month not at the end of AD but already once Nissan started and rebuked they they didn't support him on that one it was a mistake but here we see that the calendar of the Jews is very different very different we move on and we see that at the end of the Paras there's one of the most extraordinary stories you're ever going to hear seems like it's not related to this par seems like it's doesn't make sense why is it here well all of a sudden after we heard about all the extraordinary conditions and and and and and amazing things that happened the holidays the the laws of the holidays theim who they can marry who they can't marry we get into the story of this guy that didn't like the ruling of the bed of mosenu what happened it says translation the son of the Israelite woman went out what's the Israelite woman this is is is a Jewish woman the son of an is is Israelite woman went out and he was the son of an Egyptian man among the children of Israel and they quarreled in the camp and the son of the Israelite woman and the Israelite man the son of the Israelite woman explicitly pronounced the name and he cursed so they brought him to Moshe and the name of his mother was schit the daughter of D of the tribe of Dan what happened here we've heard this story before I have a little clip that we made we publicized recently but what is this what's going on here what's new this guy was born out of a unfortunate event that happened to schlomit bad schlomit bad was a overly friendly woman saying hello to all types of people including the Egyptians when they were in Egypt so one of the Egyptians said oh she says hello to me she likes me and he decided to rape her when her husband found out the Egyptian decided that he's going to kill her husband and that's the Egyptian that mosenu killed before he fled Egypt now years past the son that came out of that rape is this guy and he figured listen my father biological father father was the Egyptian there's no tribe my mother she came from the tribe of Dan so let me go and build put my tent with the tribe of Dan because the time of mosenu everybody all of the tribes had their own section they didn't mix and match there was a tribe of Dan the tribe of Shimon tribe of ysf everybody had their their tents all their people so he wanted to go and put his tent next to the tribe of Dan the tribe of Dan says sorry buddy you're not part of us the tribe is based on the father not the mother you have no tribe he quarreled with them no yes no yes let's go to the bed go to the bed of mosu mosu says according to the Torah you don't have no tribe when the mashia comes he's going to determine where you go where the converts go where you go where all of the people that in Ence don't have the traditional lineage that a Natural Born Jew has this is not a we don't like you we persecuting you this is the rules he doesn't like the rules he doesn't like the rules so much that he ends up cursing God now if you see this in the this and many other times you'll see where thear never actually says cursing God it says blessing God why because it's completely unheard of to even think that someone would have the audacity to curse God so they use a euphemism where say yeah he blessed God same thing with when there's punishment for is so says punishment to the enemies of is in reality it's punishment to is why it's it's completely the opposite of the purpose of the world doesn't want to punish he has to and he does but again sages were very careful with the words that they chose and we see that this person is arrested he's brought to mosenu and as Uno says he provoked the anger of hasem by cursing his name why does UNC say he provoked the anger of hem why didn't he say he angered Hashem because again if he says he angered hm you would think Hashem has anger he has feelings he's trying to tell you that for the human ear to understand certain words are used so you can understand why there's a punishment he didn't do something good and hasem says this guy make sure he gets the worst death penalty and all of the people that witnessed it all of the people that judged it everyone that's involved has to press on his head on his way to the death on his way to the death penalty of stoning for being a blasphemer every one of the people that was involved that saw this that heard this every one of them has to press on his head and say your blood is in your hands meaning you did this to yourself don't blame Moshe don't blame the Torah don't blame God you did this to yourself why you tried to change the rules the Torah doesn't change now why do we need to know this and needless to say why is this after everything we said about theim what's the connection here as we said in the beginning of the par Hashem wanted to make sure that theim knew who they are you're not just aen you come fromen you're not just a Jew you come from andov in fact if you look one two three four generations of any Jew you will find that it was certainly connected to some big sadik that saw big sadik that was a big Rabbi big PK in his generation if you go further eventually you may even arrive at the connection to El AI a connection to d a connection to RAB AKA a connection to any number of you could imagine certainly every Jew has the connected why because we're all sons of a single man so wanted to make sure the know exactly where they came from the rest of know know exactly where you came from sometimes people don't learn T don't know anything and they think oh you know what let me just buy itak one said it was a was this K that had an ignoramus come up to him and says listen I want to I want to become a Quin andak says I'm sorry you can't become a Quin no no no I'm going to pay a lot of money I buy $10,000 I'm sorry you can't become a qu can't buy K okay fine Rabbi 50,000 I give it to you no no it doesn't make a difference you cannot buy being a Quinn goes okay ra you're a good negotiator $100,000 cash credit whatever you want 100,000 the r says to him listen my dear son you cannot buy a k you can't be a Ken and anyway why do you even want to be a Coen he says to them listen my father was a Coen my grandfather was a quen so I want to be a Coen he was so ignorant that he thought that the way his father and his grandfather became Kim the they bought the kuna why he didn't realize that he was the son of Arona Quin the descendants of Arona Quin a person can sometimes see more of himself in all types of gangster rappers athletes you know businessmen celebrities all types of Hollywood types of people then he sees himself as a Jew he thinks that this celebrity that just signed a deal some movie that made $50 million is better than being connected to R to noin to R to he thinks it's better to be connected to some kipa than being connected to someone that spoke to him since we mentioned minin was one time Rin was a big help to someone and A call came from sh and told him because of what you did I'm going to give you a blessing that for the next 24 hours whoever you bless whatever you say I'm going to fulfill it immediately is looking for people eventually find somebody a woman a Jewish woman didn't look like she was in good condition very very poor very modest but very poor he says the who are you she got scared she go no no I don't want I just want to give you I want to give you a blessing she tells him and he gives her a blessing that she can have a lot of success in all the business Endeavors that she does and she saw that this man he wasn't like a regular person he just like literally the son came out of his face he was so shiny so beautiful so holy she went home she told her husband and she noticed that literally money started pouring in from all types of places all of a sudden every business deal that they were doing started working out they came out of poverty and short enough within a short period of time they became very wealthy so wealthy that all of the poor people made sure that this is the place to go to if you want to collect for any reason and because they knew they got a blessing they made sure to be very generous with poor people with anybody that was in need because they believed that Eli was who gave her the blessing years passed Rin and his brother rusa needed to collect some money for p there was some Jews that were prisoners in the Gentile court system they needed to free them and you need to collect a lot of money they went to this family's house they knew there's a wealthy family they didn't know who what went and how they went there as soon as the guy opened the door it was a butler and he says yes oh you're collecting he gave him a gold coin because he had permission from the owner of the house that whoever comes you make sure you give them something give them a coinin and his brother says no no no we need more okay I'll give you a second coin no no no we not we need much more says okay well my my master has told me that I can give up the two coins whoever asks for more to make sure to go tell him okay so when can we tell him he goes he's inside come see him and they let these two people they didn't know who they were but they saw that these are two sikim that were very different they looked homeless they they looked like they were you know didn't have fancy clothes or anything not like today that every barit has a suit for $3,000 no no today in those days wasn't exactly uh money in the middle of the streets so they went into the house and as they went into the house they passed by the wife the wife of this rich man as soon as she saw them sweet I recognize that face she looked closer and she started screaming ah and passed out of course everybody poured some water on her woke her up oh you okay you okay go that's that's he probably came to take back the blessing knew exactly who this woman was and he said no don't worry number one I'm not Ali and number two I'm not here to take the blessing in fact I'm very happy that my blessing worked and was fulfilled by all I'm here for is to ask for your help to give us some money so we could free these Jewish prisoners of course the husband said hey go however much you need I give the whole sum he go no no no we don't want the whole some we want half half yes we want half why we want half from you but you also want the rest of the Jewish people to have the Merit to be part of this holy mitvah we don't want you to be the only one that gets the Mitzvah we want other Jews to have the Mitzvah so when a person understands this is a person that walked among us this is a person that you could be related to a person that heard a a person that made a blessing and it worked you could either realize your connection and lineage to him or see yourself being some celebrity or some Guru from India Unfortunately today when a person doesn't understand where they came from they don't know what's Bon what's the sons of Aon what's the sons of ABR andov they could literally find more in common with the enemies then they do with their friends then they do with their brothers Shalom 135 asks a question somebody asked him a question he says how did re allow himself to give a SM to the criminal grandson of Rim that's the question what's the story thear says that the son of razar rabish Shimon meaning the grandson ofish shim was a beautiful guy that had from Hell instead he didn't go see the rabbis he went to see the rabot there wasn't a zonad that he wasn't with literally they chased him and he fulfilled every lust and every sin he possibly can imagine when RAB a kadosh heard about this he immediately went to him and said listen come with me and I'll make you the biggest Rabbi in the world me biggest Rabbi in the world what are you talking about I I don't go to I don't go to I don't even go to sh I don't go to k i go to parties yeah parties parties what are you going to get out of them money I have money I'm very rich I give you plenty of money but even money is not enough you want respect you want people to listen to you serve you right I can do that for you this say how you come with me you sign up to learn K with one of my students on day one I'm giving you your GMA special suit of the rabbis you're a rabbi everybody has to call you everybody has to stand up for you as soon as they see you not only money get power without even learning yeah now eventually this kid became a became a real extraordinary person but there's still a question how did RAB kados allow himself to do this I mean if you made him a rabbi after he passed some tests after he showed that he did chuva fine great Lish was a person that didn't live a righteous life his whole life he was a criminal he was head of the mafia at one point before he did chuva he went after his Rabbi raban and stuck with him his whole life but before that was a criminal was the head of the mob so if you say you made him a rabbi while he was a criminal doesn't make sense but he didn't he helped him trained him taught him then eventually became a big Rabbi but Rabbi no no no didn't wait for that on day one get out of this prostitution house this come with me you're a rabbi everybody has to stand up for you if the saric to kiss your hand how that's the question Feinstein writes perhaps rebi judged him based on the outcome and knew that if he gives him such a title and make sure that he learns with another he will eventually be a and do chuba that's a fantastic answer but the question is how did rebi know this how did he know that if he learns with another Torah scholar he will eventually become a Torah scholar himself I mean you knew so much that you already gave him the SM as if he is a not only a Torah scholar a giant how how do you do it okay so you could Sayes and it wouldn't be a contradiction he wrote the Mish but still we need a logical reason a reason that agrees with our Torah and our final point before you guys start asking questions re knew this is going to work how do you know even without rather knowledge of Tor the spirit of Tor knew this why this kid what is he looking for he's going after all of the lusts of the world why he wants people to follow him he wants attention he want people to listen to him he wants people to do what he says he wants respect reab says I can give him that just like that but I need to make sure there's a reason to give him ah learn to but how do I give to learn Tora I'll give him the respect I'll give him the position I'll give him all the things that he wants on day one in order to get him away from all this yet from all the sins but in order for him to keep that position he has to learn tah and I know that if he learns T he will become a Torah scholar why because his Bon is the son of Aon meaning he's the son of RAB elazar who's the son of RAB Shimon Bai he has he's connected toim he's connected to of course he's going to be okay if he learns toah it's in his spiritual genes that he will succeed inah if he simply applies himself and stays away from the sins and this is in essence what aadh is telling us know this if you follow the law and you constantly remind yourself that you are descendant of Aon meaning if you're a Quin you're descendant of Aon if you're not a Quin you're still a descendant of Abraham is yob and all of the greatest sages that ever lived you are part of that if you are a convert you are the son of abrah ainu if you're a natural born Jew you are a descendant of abah you're you're you're the best there's nothing greater than you in the world so long as you recognize where you came from when you operate your life in this world but if you don't and you simply try to change the way to change direction then you're no different than the blasphemer who said that I want to be part of the tribe of dun yeah but that's not the way it works here you can't just decide you're the part of the tribe of dun the same as the Black Hebrew Israelites just decided that they're Jews suddenly hundreds of years none of them even knew what Jews are today they decided they're Jews this is simply against the Torah this is simply not part of the Torah this is blasphemy and blasphemy will eventually get a death penalty by God accept who you are with open arms and you'll be able to see the blessings in your life with that being said you guys can start asking questions I see there's plenty of them already on the screen I'll start answering all right thank you very much for the support the blessings uh let's see questions here we go do theal do disqualifying physical blemishes of theim also reflect spiritual blemishes you've been discussing in the Jewish intimacy series maym continue to bless you and your family very good question we answered it during the sh as a uh as you heard a uh the the physical blemishes that a person has are an indication of a uh spiritual blemish that they uh either have or had in the past part of their tun in fact there are parts of the and the and different teachings uh that discuss that people that have certain limitations those limitations are specifically there because there is a uh a problem there so for example a uh a person that is a uh born without the ability to speak they could be sure that that is connected to something that they did in their past life whether it's they said a lot of or they disclosed certain information they weren't allowed to disclose in a different format or they were uh a uh they said uh they used cuss words uh and and spoke profanity or they yelled at their parents or they uh and disrespected them or they uh you know they they said slander whatever it is certainly they sinned with their mouth or they could even be what they didn't eat kosher uh you know so this is certainly connected to it of course there's other things but this is examples of it in fact the uh says that there are people that have kids like that that are born without the ability to speak it's not only because of the of the uh the child's uh sins from their previous life but also because of the uh uh animalistic uh Act of the parents of how they behave when they're intimate uh you know and and uh Unholy way so uh you know putting their mouth in certain places and uh and uh you know saying certain things that that are inappropriate so the uh a person that's born with uh with a some type of speech impediment it is certainly a indication that there is something to fix that needs to be fixed due you know as a result of this suffering the same goes with somebody that has uh you know is blind or has problems with their eyes that is certainly connected to some type of uh problem that they have or sin that they've made in the past they can either look at things that are not modest lanua uh or they uh they use their eyes to look at things that didn't belong to them and ended up coveting it and being jealous it's also a sin so all types of sins that a person makes with their eyes lead to these things again it's part of their tikun where they suffer in this life as a result of not being able to see but that is a way to uh fix and purify that part of the Nish uh and and get that back in so many words uh the same actually goes with a person that's suffering in this world now meaning writes that a uh a person that has pain in certain parts of their body should know that they hem is telling them they need to do a ton with that part of their body uh in fact there was a uh uh a recent thing thing that happened literally within the last uh couple of days with rabim uh we have a uh lot of projects we're working on but we he took something on that uh is literally unbelievable unbelievable and I'll tell you this is a uh um you know one of these things that uh you have to uh be there to witness it but uh you are so this is what happened his uh father uh raim raim klon uh over the last uh you know month or so has had like unusual pain in his arm huge amount of pain in his arm he went to the hospital they you know they were concerned what could be what is this what's that and all the checking all of the uh things that they were doing nothing worked and he literally suffered with this pain in his arm that uh was uh really debilitating him was making very life very very difficult for him and uh came up with the idea uh he said listen you know we we have a tradition that obviously it's AEM talking to us and you know if if we want a t somewhere specific we need to do something specific so he says there is a write a commentary on it write a commentary it's 20 uh uh 20 chapters it's not a big M write a commentary on it now Rim is's speaker for for many years is a rabbi but he doesn't you know he wrote a book but again he's not someone that is a uh uh uh as uh proficient in writing like his son simply because he didn't spend his life doing that he did other things so for him to do that oh that's a you know it's a big undertaking and I'll do it and I'll do it and he says as soon as he said I'll do it right there and then the pain in his arm started getting less he realized like literally a noticeable difference in his arm pain right there and then when he decided to do it then he started going over the mishna and he literally he know he he was handwriting everything handwriting everything CU he wasn't again there's not a big user of computers came from a different generation and he figured he'd write everything down even though his arm hurts a lot his hand hurts an enormous amount push himself and he literally said with every single mishna that he wrote A K A Commentary on you know of course reading all the different books and studying it with every single one that he wrote the pain started becoming more and more manageable and he toiled over it over a short period of time by the time he finished the pain has gone down by like 70% but it was still there but it was still there but it would went down drastically so now he uh he says uh okay so I wrote it now what I still have the pain so says okay we have to publish it we have to publish it we have to make a new cont new book okay so we have to type it so I guess that's what I have to do in order for this paint to go away Hashem wants me to actually type this even though he doesn't type often he doesn't deal with this stuff I'm going to do more than I typically do for the sake and the honor ofm with something specific to the hand talks about the purity of the hands all of the different things that have to do with with hands I'm going to type it myself and he spent like three four days typing non-stop all the stuff that he wrote he says by the time he finished the pain in his hand gone like disappeared as if it was never there unbelievable so we see that there are times s that people that have made sins in their previous life get specific Mo specific defects during their life here as part of their tun we see the second way where there are people that make a sin during their life and Hashem gives them a mo a defect a pain an Agony as a way to fix the problem as a way to remind them that there is a problem but then there is also another another way we see that there are certain people that Hashem simply gives them a certain pain a certain Agony not as a form of punishment for the previous Carnation or even what they did in this way but rather to encourage them to do more relevant to that body part relevant to that issue he wants the person to do more can con that issue to Tora because they have the ability to do it that nobody else has they have certain insights they have certain uh skills certain gave them to do it and you see that when they do it it literally it works in such an extraordinary ways might as well be Mount zai so this is literally a real story that happened in completed I only know the end of the story that it ended in the last couple of days that's when he finished typing it The Agony and the pain I knew about already for the last month I didn't know it was as bad as what it actually was him W in the comment there I only found out after he finished it and it's unbelievable when you see this not once not twice but time and time again when you're involved with sadim and different people you see these amazing things a similar story happen happened to rabbihim actually uh you know in the last year where one day he woke up with a uh simply his arm stopped working became uh uh stopped working stop wasn't able to move it wasn't able to move his arm he read up tried to figure out what when and he started studying the issue of the hand and again within a uh a matter of a uh uh a couple of days after after he learned specific things and he wrote some things about it arm went back to normal but literally he was holding up his hand no way no no ability to use it no way to hold hold anything close his hand how why Hashem decided and this is again these are stories these are like behind the scenes stories that if you didn't ask and it didn't happen I wouldn't even tell you but it's just one of those things where you see that he doesn't he's not just like black and white where he does this you do that no there there's different ways there's different reasons says that brings suffering to a person for multiple reasons and the mentions seven different reasons either because of sins e to elevate the person is another reason but the last reason is unknown to us meaning it's the wisdom of God why he brings the suffering to a certain person we know that he bring suffering sometimes because of a sin from the past a sin from the from a present uh to elevate a person we understand all those things but there is one place where even mosenu asks hem let me see you Hashem says no you can only see my back meaning there are certain things that a human being simply will not have the ability to see until they're completed and that's what hasm was telling mosu you want to know why I do what I do as a human being so long as you're a human being you're only going to know why I do what I do after you've seen the complete picture after you've seen the complete picture that's what it means that he saw you can see me for my back not that hm has a back so we see that there are times where Hashem simply gives a person a certain test could be physical monetary uh you know spiritual test all types of test uh not always necessarily as a punishment sometimes it is quite different like what we just explained for the question next question why theim not allowed to marry since they also have the uh the status uh serving in the uh Temple I'm not really uh following you're the the Quan is allowed to marry a uh L but it's it's a woman I don't understand it a men I'm not following the question sorry is it allowed to watch something for free on a website that illegally streams content uh that you would have to pay to watch on another video streaming service uh it's a good question uh the uh ala is when it comes to stolen software stolen merchandise that's a digital merchandise where in essence this particular product is not costing uh the the company any more money for example if somebody makes a uh you know a software that's sold for let's say a few hundred and he makes copies of it and then he gives it to a bunch of different people now he is considered the original guy is considered a thief he's considered a thief he's going to have to be reincarnated in order to return money to the uh The Entity that he that he stole from it's a very very big problem but what about the other people that that get this free software either they get it be you know for free or you know or they even pay a small amount of money for it instead of paying $500 for it they pay $5 for it are they considered thieves now according to they're not considered thieves but you still should not do it and the reason why is because when you uh take advantage of what somebody that stole does you're in essence empowering them and you're giving them the uh uh the the the ability and the uh drive to do it again to do it again uh but it's not considered actual theft uh it's just simply uh you know something that should not be done uh immoral you can call it uh uh or or the like now as far as whether a person is allowed to watch a uh streaming something streaming that could be sold somewhere else again like I just said technically allowed but should you do it the the the answer is no uh and because again you're by doing that you're supporting something wrongdoing and the second thing is is that whatever blessing you wanted to get from that is not going to happen why because you got to whatever that is uh in the wrong way in a in a in a in an ugly way so this is again one of the things that I uh taught one of my students years ago we hadem a uh a test uh that uh this is years ago we first started the organization uh and uh we needed to get some software uh we need to get some software and you know in the beginning we uh you know we barely had two nickels to rub together so it it's very very difficult in the beginning the uh you know the staka was very very minimal I wasn't collecting any money for lecture since the beginning so it's not like a there was any other way to to get this stuff so uh to go and somebody tells me one of the uh tells me listen we need to buy this $500 software for for three4 four people you have to spend a couple of thousand now interestingly enough software today literally you could practically buy almost every you could get almost everything for free some you know some criminal has hijacked everything somewhere you know so whether it's Microsoft or it's uh whatever everything could be get gotten for free in some type of stolen version so he told me listen we can get instead of spending $22,000 on this uh software uh we can get it for uh $10 there's this website that sells a cheat code or some other thing and we can get it for for for $10 or actually there was somebody else that was in the business and said listen you don't even need to pay for it I have free copies meaning he has stolen copies that he got from somewhere uh and he said listen I I give it to you it's free and uh so they came to me before we installed anything they came to me and told me this I told him no i' rather not have it yeah but we need the software so we're going to buy it they said no we're not going to buy it right now it's expensive we have the money for it right now but I'm not going to I'm not going to get anything I'm not going to benefit from anything stolen no but listen I didn't really I wasn't the one that stole it it's somebody else I don't even know who this person is you know any way other people are taking it anyway the company uh uh you know is a uh is not going after anything and that's also by the way part of the reason of why it's not considered stealing uh by the end user so for example somebody stole the original software and and and and copied it he's considered a thief but all of the other people that get the software or whatever the product is they're not considered thieves because the companies let's say Microsoft or or apple or whoever it is they are not going to spend their resources going after each individual Thief they may go after uh the people that made these things uh from time to time to make an example of them but the individual end users they're not going to go after them so in essence they already taken into account that people are going to steal and they give up on it they they they in essence they Factor it in they Factor it in this is similar to other uh programs that uh people sometimes take advantage of which again it's always unethical to do these things but nonetheless is it stealing or not stealing this is it's not stealing so because they gave up on it they gave up on it they're not going to go after it so in Ence it became FK it became uh like public property so the only thing that's problem with it is the unethical part and supporting uh uh unethical and uh and crime in so many words but anyway when it came to us I said listen for me to go and take this even though it's free even though it's certainly convenient for me to uh to do because I need this software to do K to help people learn T to help people get closer to Hashem you know maybe this is you could easily justify this being a blessing even I said no I'm not going to take advantage of uh somebody's uh stealing somebody's wrongdoing i' rather not have it and uh that was decided literally it wasn't even a day wasn't even a day later that somehow came across my desk that there's this company that uh um caters to nonprofit organizations and gives them discounts on specific products so logged into this system we're a nonprofit I logged into this system and I see whoa look they have software too and I find out they have the same exact software for $10 for $10 not 500 not $1,500 $10 literally it was like a who spoke to me face to face I told my guy look look at this look at this look how K literally transforms the whole world once you pass the test 24 hours ago I had all the reasons in the world to take advantage of something I could even justify if I want to manipulate the Torah enough but you stick with the truth will always reward you for it in the end sometimes it's right away sometimes it's overtime but you're never going to be left with debt in your hand you're always going to get paid even more so than you could imagine and this is one of the most beautiful things that uh you could literally learn these things from real life if you simply stick to the Torah uh with through thick and thin through thick and thin so that's the final message is stay away from anything that is a part of a lie uh question Rabbi could a person essentially use Scrabble to invoke what Hashem wants him to do just like when the liches use the got AES to ask the rebi for answers aren't they both Divine Providence is this a serious question or are you being an idiot what what do you mean you Scrabble what are you talking about sh wanted you to pick those Scrabble letters just like putting is this serious question I mean come on you're a smart guy why are you asking these questions you it's it's a mockery it's a mockery of a to to say that you could fig that hasem is talking to you through Scrabble to of theah like what I mean it's just there's a limit to to to to to to everything this is beyond it it's beyond it you to go pick Scrabble letters and that's what's going to tell you come on what is come on enough enough there a what the labers do and with the letters to the rabbi and all that stuff that's again some agree with it some disagree with it some compare it to the uh uh the G Vila how he has the the special thing of how you open the seph T I don't know how the going from opening the seph T and picking a specific verse after fasting and and and doing certain things to sanctify yourself for an entire uh uh uh day uh how that somehow has transformed into writing a letter and putting it and sending it in a mail to a uh uh an anonymous mailbox I'm not sure how they took this from this and what source they're relying on but again just because one person is making a mistake doesn't mean that we just build on these mistakes and make a mockery of the Torah especially not in the public format like take Scrabble and make it into a uh uh this is this is hasem talking to me come on where there's just so much that uh no Scrabble is not going to do anything for you in fact Scrabble is uh problematic if you use it on Shabbat if you have the Scrabble Deluxe Scrabble Deluxe is forbidden on Shabbat mste says Scrabble Deluxe is forbidden on Shabbat because of the way that there is a separation between the letters on the board uh regular SL Scrabble is allowed on Shabbat but is not a uh a good thing to do because it's not the uh same thing with Monopoly allowed to do on Shabbat but it's a as far as it's not a Mala but it should not be done because it's not something that you're supposed to do uh on Shabbat you're supposed to learn Torah you're supposed to do mitv you're supposed to pray rest celebrate Shabbat not play uh uh video games and card games but if somebody if you see somebody playing Monopoly or or or or Scrabble on Shabbat as long as they're not using the one that's forbidden uh there is no mea over there actually being done no mea but if you see the deluxe Deluxe is violation of Shabbat uh so that's that's a by Feinstein um but uh I can tell you one thing that uh uh my kids God blessed them uh they uh they have this game that somebody gave them and uh it's similar to Monopoly I think it's called like Mitzvah Market or something like that and uh it's you know it's like a monopoly but it's not Monopoly like what we grew up with as kids with you know buying all types of streets and theaters and all types of things that you know we don't want in our Jewish home it's everything is like connected to some type of Mitzvah it's puim it's uh matah it's all types of interesting things but they said listen you know it still has money you know fake money and they wanted to play this on on Shabbat now again we don't want this uh on Shabbat but my sadik wife came up with an idea you guys want to play this on Shabbat fine what's the condition the condition is this instead of money it's uh Torah questions Torah questions every time you land on whatever such a place you the other person ask the a Tor question if they know the answer they uh they pass or they get the property if they don't know the answer you know they either get another chance or they get a different question or whatever you know depending on the on the stringency of the person but nonetheless it's removing the money from the game and exchanging it with Torah questions and making it AB beautiful thing to do so these are certainly things that a person can do uh and and and actually use uh the uh uh the the Torah as another way uh to uh you know to uh to enjoy the uh holidays enjoy Shabbat and so on without necessarily uh feeling like they're missing out on some games and things that they like but again by no means this give us any permission to to to uh just make a mockery of things it's just some of this stuff drives me crazy because there's so much in the world today uh that people think it's like it's it's perfectly fine to do things that are forbidden in fact one of the things that's in this week's par hasem says don't desecrate my name and people think oh desecrating hashem's name that's uh you know if you uh uh go and uh hug the terrorist that's desecrating God's name or if you uh you know make a sin in public uh that's desecrating God's name well it's not necessarily that uh that hard to desecrate God's name why a person could simply uh walk around and without a keeper and that could lean to desecration of his name how simple he decides that he's going to play a sport he wants to play a sport and every time he plays a sport the keeper falls out so what do he do he takes the keeper puts it in his pocket put in his pocket now his kid who looks up to him or his nephew or his cousin or his I don't know somebody else's kid comes looks at him says oh wow you don't have a keeper oh no no it's it's it's in my pocket it's just because we're playing sports okay whatever so you don't really have to wear a keeper meaning the calculation that the kid made is that if you don't have to wear it when you're playing sports that means you don't really have to wear it guess what you have a in your account last chapter says that certain sins a person can fix by doing chuva at that time certain sins he has to wait until Yip forem to forgive him certain sins he has to do CH Yip and accept on himself certain sufferings but there is one sin that even the suffering yum and CH it's still not going to fix it until he dies which one is literally one of the easiest easiest sins in the world to make if a person is not careful and doesn't have a person is not careful is have they could literally be a walking so a person has to be very very careful from desecrating God's name with everything that they do especially with things that are just have turned uh the Torah into some form of mockery uh either because people are acting the wrong way or people are just stupid or or or or just ridiculous behavior these things you have to stay away from it like you stay away from cancer stay away from like you stay away from from a plague stay away from these things because is not it's not something that you could fix uh with uh with a couple of dollars and and I'm sorry it's just simply not it's a very very dear sin that a lot of people don't realize uh how how dear the sin is next question uh Zari Jew why background of a Rob of kalist can be Kim too I'm sorry I don't understand background of a Rob of kalist can be kohanim too I'm just don't I'm sorry I don't understand the question question honoring the wicked can make you lose youra unless you repent can you give me a few examples of honoring the wicked please uh sure the uh uh the um uh says that there are certain people that will never see they will never see the uh the face of God if you will the uh uh you know when when we live in this world we're never going to be able to see God but when a person leaves this world and they're righteous they can see God uh so whatever that means now certain people that will never see one of them is say people that are liars will never see God will never see him the other one is people that are kiss ups that kiss up to the wicked what's kissing up to the wicked when for example a uh the the community or even the rabbi of the community uh you know a uh pretend that somebody that's a is is righteous because they're a big donor even though they know that they desecrate Shabbat even though they know that in their business they're stealing uh but they still say oh he's thead the sadik to come into the Kila you know how important this person is he's a big sadik now everybody knows he desecrates Shabbat he's married to a Goya he uh he steals in his business but because he gives a few shekels uh to the synagogue or to the people call him a sadik that's that's that's kissing up to the wicked that's forbidden completely that's uh that's one common example common example that has to do with money uh and uh there's always a story that I love uh with a uh the re the Clen rebbi when there was a very wealthy man came uh was brought to him by some of hisim and the the reab mits built an Empire built hospitals schools literally buildings left and right entire cities uh natana in America in Germany so he built a lot and he always needed a lot of money to continue doing the building and uh one time a very very wealthy Jew is brought to him and uh there's a lot of people and he's sitting down with the rebi and this guy is older he's in his 70s and uh the Reb MIT asked him so how is your business how is it doing is it doing okay and he's like ah the rebi doesn't need to worry these days already I don't even need to spend much time in my businesses uh most of the you know they already run themselves most of the time I just spend some time you know uh playing cards and uh and enjoying myself now this is a guy that could literally write a check to pay for all of the buildings not just one building and he came with a checkbook to write a check he just wants to talk to the re for a little bit the rebi mitan says to him aren't you ashamed of yourself that you're already in your 70s and instead of learning Torah what you're doing is you're gambling and what you think that you're going to get rewarded because you give someaka to some organizations you are going to give punished and you're G to burn in gam and he's telling them this in front of everybody you're GNA burn in gam for the that you gave because it came from a non kosher place and because of your non- kosher money those yes that you gave to them are are having students that are not learning tah because they don't understand no one knows why they don't understand now we know why they don't understand because of non kosher money now this guy is shocked nobody in the world ever spoke to him like this he gets up and he leaves now you know they try to cool things off the guy obviously is not having it he leaves he's gone the millions are gone with him they come to the Reb say Reb why'd you do that you know obviously in a much more respectable way the re says to them listen I'm not going to delude myself to think that just because of what I said to him he's going to stop gambling and do complete Chua but my goal was that at least he's not going to enjoy the sin as much as he's enjoying it now so I'll suffer less for it meaning my goal is not to collect money from him my goal is to help him I thought I was going to be able to help him by taking his money for takaka but since I saw that hisa is not Kosher and everything he does is not Kosher I needed to help him in a much bigger way which is to help him stop enjoying the sins this is actually one of the extraordinary stories in the bio of the closenberg rebi and uh it's literally a story after a story of of somebody that was you could just say that he was more Mal than man he was more an angel than a man and and it's one of those things where a person he sees that these sikim were literally they were in our our lifetime these are not from 500 or a, or 1500 years ago they were in our lifetime they were walking Among Us and a person could be related to this a person could be part of this a part of this community a person could be learning from their books but instead Unfortunately they lie to themselves thinking that some self-help Guru that's 25 years old is going to be more useful to them and better for them so a person needs to make sure to uh always connect to the uh the truth and the truth is not necessarily always what's most popular in fact the truth is usually unpopular but if a person sticks to the truth Hashem is going to make sure that they're constantly going to go to the right path and he's going to connect them to good people if a person is you know iffy with the truth and he wants to literally lie to himself then a person that person is not only going to be much more likely to kiss up to the wrong people and honor uh Wicked people but become a wicked person thems become a wicked person themselves and this you see unfortunately many times in communities that even at the times ofin he writes it himself he writes it himself he says that there are many yes in synagogues that are being built by the same people that built be the the Tower of Babel he says to make a name for themselves where they're building buildings so-called Torah institutions not for the sake of Torah but rather for the sake of their name and none of these places will succeed in the long run there's not going to be any Torah coming from there they may have a place they may have some students they may have some money but Torah is not coming from there not going to come from there so this is at the time of he writes about rabbis in his generation he writes about the community in his generation of people buying and building buildings and yes and synagogues and so on but not doing it for the sake of God doing it for the sake of building a name now how do you do how why do they succeed how do they succeed they succeed by kissing up to the wicked by honoring the wicked people telling the wicked people that if they give money they become righteous they continue sinning they continue stealing continue killing continue lying but if they give some money then you're tadik and unfortunately this happens time and time again there's some Wicked guy that uh built literally he has gotten so much money out of the Jewish people here in South Florida that he has extra land he literally he has extra land he has he recently bought a huge plot of land he's building a bunch of buildings on it all types of so-called Yeshiva and school and dormatory and all types of mumbo jumbo but this is not his first plot of land no no no he had has across the street a $10 million plot of land he won't even allow another Rabbi to have his community there for 5 seconds why your competition what competition you have a $30 million project over here across the street what competition a little play a little office a little place to pray no no if you want be part of my community but I don't want to be part of your community you don't even have a inan now how do I know this guy is wicked he's been the place for over 30 years until this day he does not even have 10 people that keep Shabbat in his community 30 years he's collecting tens of millions of dollars he does not even have 10 people in his community that keep Shabbat people in his community outright marry non-jews outright violate Shabbat drive to sh he doesn't care doesn't care at all why as long as the money comes in everything is good now his bank account huge Millions tens of millions is also tens of millions of years in G how does he get all this money telling the wicked people that they're perfectly fine I spoke to him I spoke to some of his members I'm not making this stuff up literally I spoke to a guy that he tells me listen I've been giving the the the rabbi you know my M for for many years millions of dollars I give to the rabbi I'm happy happy to give to the rabbi he makes me feel religious he tells me so that's the guy you keep Shabbat he goes no no we don't really keep anything but you know we keep this said I don't understand why do you donate to a Torah institution or so-called Torah institution if uh you don't keep anything you don't keep kosher you don't nothing why because the rabbi said I'll go to heaven as a heaven is in Isen G he's going to be in you think he himself is not going to heaven you think you're going to go to heaven but unfortunately almost every Community has this it's an infection from the idolatrous world that's full of this where these pastors and Priests sell their communities Al types of Lies telling them that if they give them money to buy a plane to buy another building to buy a vacation to buy all types of nonsense they're going to go to Heaven There is no way to go to heaven unless you're a righteous person and there's no way to be righteous unless you are living in accordance with the Torah simple end there is no other way to go to heaven now if you give you donate all those things those are extras those are bonuses those are good but if you yourself are not observing the laws of the Torah there is never going to be a heaven never like it's not like oh if I don't observe the Torah but I give a lot of money then maybe I'll go to Gom for a few years but eventually I'm going to heaven and I'll see Moses and I'll see a no no no if you don't observe the Torah you're never going to heaven like never let just count let's count one year no two years no three years no 10 years no 20 years no 100 years no a million years no a billion years no never never is never they will no one that is not that doesn't follow the to will ever see even the inside of what heaven looks like never why because the Torah doesn't need your money surely it's good if you donate for good cause but you're not going to heaven because of that you're going to heaven because you're righteous and that's just going to help you get to a even higher level both in action as well as in spirituality but for anyone to sell you the story that you're going to heaven just because of money that you give it's an outright lie that is coming from idolatry of Christianity where they tell you you don't have to observe any of the laws of a tah anymore so long as you believe in Yos how do you express your Bel in simple give money plant seeds plant seeds to buy the pastor and the priest another plane another Mansion another Island another this another that this this is one of the biggest lies in humanity today why do you think the church is not only the richest entity in the world but it's literally the Catholic Church the the Vatican the Vatican specifically it's its own country with its own rules thousand people approximately no one can touch them they make their own rules they have one store and anyone that is permitted inside to see certain things without a unified permission there are literally lists of people that were given this permission and surely thereafter disappeared from the world either mysterious car accident mysterious virus that killed them mysterious walking around the neighborhood and a piano falls on them all types of mysterious things and why doesn't anybody investigate these things because when you are a place that lies to people telling them that they could go to heaven if they as long long as they give money and simply do nothing that the Torah says contradict everything that means you connect yourself with all types of mafiosos all types of criminals all types of crime and in so many words you bought the system in this world in the next World nobody can buy anything no all the money in the world is not even worth a quarter of a Mitzvah of the smallest Mitzvah you can think of and that's why it's literally a desecration of God's name in the highest level to tell people that you're going to go to heaven purely because of your takaka it's simply a lie if you don't follow the Torah there is no Heaven no matter what you are Jew Gentile don't make a difference you don't follow the laws of to that are applicable to you you're not going to heaven ever so when people kiss up to the Wicked This creates a desecration of God's name and that's why the ramb writes he in in chapter 5 the first and he says that is is commanded to sanctify aem's name and not to desecrate it now the verses in our weekly par say that first don't desecrate God's name later on it says sanctify his name so why did the rambam change it around where he first says we are commanded to sanctify his name and then don't desecrate it because desecrating God's name is easy to do if you don't follow the Torah you could literally desecrate God's name every 5 Seconds every 5 Seconds you make the Torah look bad desecrated God's name you made a public sin you desecrated God's name this literally it's easy to make the greatest sin in the world now a person that's unaware of how easy it is to lose youra is certainly a person that has NOA so the rambam says in order for you to not fall into this horrible place of desecrating God's name on a regular basis you need protection you need protection how can someone have protection from desecrating God's name busy yourself with sanctifying his name if you busy yourself with what the says s ify aem's name every day if you didn't sanctify his name there's no purpose for you to live why because you came to this world to sanctify his name to make his name bigger not because he needs you but for yourself and the rambam gives us a hint here he says busy yourself with sanctifying hashem's name not just for the sake of sanctifying his name but also for the sake of not desecrating his name now person says okay I mean sanctifying his name is hard I mean I can't always do a big lecture I can't always uh you know organize a big event where a lot of Jews come and do chuva guess what you don't need to do really big things to sanctify shem's name it's good to do them arrange a big seminar a lot of people do chuva do a big mitvah that uh you know publicizes the Torah there's certainly big ways to sanctify aem's name but it's also easy ways days to sanctify his name how the same sadik we talked about before in his seel he calls it a letter it's called Uh is like a small letter he writes Hein was theid of the M the mesich was the main talid of the B meaning the is part of the foundation of in the world he writes what do you do if you go to want to go to sleep but you can't fall asleep now the fools of the world will tell you count sheep one two 3 4 5 okay what did you get out of it you count the cheap great do something useful why but I got to go to sleep so what do people do they start thinking oh tomorrow I have to I have to open an account at the bank and tomorrow I have to wash my clothes and tomorrow I have a meeting at 12:00 and tomorrow I have to pay the mortgage and to and they think about it what ends up happening is they think about all the things they need to tomorrow they can't fall asleep for another two hours he says something beautiful he says you can't you went to sleep but you can't fall asleep what do you do sanctify name how how can I sanctify K's name when I'm about to go to sleep what get up go learn again no without getting out of the bed you're in bed tired but you're not ready to go to sleep yet says think right there and then imagine in your mind close your eyes imagine in your mind that there's there's a bunch of idol worshippers that are telling you worship our Idol or we're going to burn you alive and you say burn me alive I'm never going to worship your idol I am a Jew and imagine yourself dying on K he says that is fulfilling the mitvah of K right there before you went to sleep you made the biggest mitv why do you think was and got to the highest levels why why do you think all of the got to where they were why because they have a good memory no because they knew where they came from and thereby they knew what their abilities and their responsibilities were and they made sure to take advantage of every minute of their life to sanctify K's name even the moments before they went to sleep they thought how can I sanctify hashem's name now ah think about dying on Kem the average person tell him oh looka died on Kem they uh they they cut him up to Pieces thinks all horrible oh one of the 10 Martyrs in the Tora some of them they threw into the fire the other one they cut cut him up the other one they all types of horrible things it's like why do want to think about that don't think about them think about you and happening to you and you having that strong belief in that you're never leaving him you're never going to fall to idol worship you're never going to do any of the cardinal sins you're never going to go anywhere that's far from Hashem and you're willing to die for hem that is K right before you go to sleep teaches us real what makes a when he does above and beyond what he's expected to do what he's supposed to do he's supposed to just go to sleep wake up in the morning early start praying yes you're supposed to but maybe I can sanctify aem's name do K before I go to sleep sure think about that so when a person stays away from Wicked people that in itself is going to put him on the right path and he can eventually do these great things that taught and the great taught and the great sages taught when a person follows materialism follows lust and all types of instincts all types of desires not instincts desires that person is going to eventually become one of the people that kisses up to the the wicked and ends up exactly where the wicked end up there's only two possible outcomes Choose Wisely how do you recommend planning for tomorrow while still having and the right amount of is where is the line of laziness for a person laziness is should not be even part of a person's vocabulary a person should make sure that he is exerting maximum effort at every single moment that he's alive what does that mean that means that if you are awake you are either learning Torah praying to Hashem or working in order to make a living to provide for your family or being with your family teaching them uh you know talking to them being with them loving them you know there's a few responsibilities that a person has but as long as he's alive as long as he's awake he has to exert as much energy as possible to do the best that he can whatever he does that's why I always tell people don't take a job just because of money because if they give you a lot of money but they take away your life you don't have any time to learn toah you don't have any time to pray it's not worth it on the other hand don't take a job that doesn't pay you enough money where even though you work uh more than than the average person even you're still going to be struggling which means that even when you try to learn T you're not going to be into it because you're constantly thinking I don't have enough money so whatever you do do the best you possibly can with the least amount of time but that doesn't mean don't work it means make the most amount of money that you can at whatever you do for a living when you need to work the least amount of work most amount of money and with the rest of the time exert as much energy as possible serving hasem serving hasem means learn Torah help other people do chuva do all types of and kindness publicize the tah there is endless amount of things that a person can involve thems with and the more they exerts the more they know that it's not a matter of my job providing for me or uh my good deed providing for me the bottom line is I'm doing the best that I can to serve hem and to to to to function in the ways of the Torah in this world and hasm is going to provide me whether he's going to provide me from this business or that business or this partnership or this mystery or that doesn't make a difference problem is I'm going to do the best that I can to uhh uh to use the Torah as my a uh my map for this world my map for this world now as far as preparation it all depends on what a person is aspiring to have what do they want in life you know if if they're looking looking to build a uh Torah institutions and uh and and and and big things then certainly they need to prepare a certain way if they're looking to Simply uh uh live their life have their house have their kids and uh uh you know have a uh uh uh you know a decent normal life then they have to prepare in different ways if they uh but if they start preparing in the way of let's say for example how the television uh news casters tell you where you have to have money for retirement and you have to have a certain amount of insurance and you have to have a certain amount of money saved and a certain amount of money in cash and a certain amount of money in risk and a certain then in reality you're never going to have enough money to give staka you're never going to have enough money to live you're never going to have enough money and all the money that you going have is going to be saved or or or invested in so many different places that you're going to be afraid to buy chocolate milk just because it may be 20 cents more than the uh regular milk it's so a person needs to know we buy what we need we buy what we need not uh we always we don't always necessarily buy what we want but we buy what we need never be stingy on mitv never be stingy on the things you need the point of money is to use it for the things you need now if a person is worries too much about the future they end up saving everything and not living and eventually all of the money and all the work that they do ends up being given to somebody else some stranger some enemy some problem so and or sometimes they simply lose the blessing because they're not using their money for so simply takes it away so a person needs to be clever with whatever it is that they uh uh they do for a living to make sure that they exert the most amount of effort in order to produce the best results with the least amount of time possible sometimes the least amount of time possible is a full day 8 nine 10 hours sometimes the least amount of possible is 3 hours sometimes it's 12 hours but the point is is that whatever it is to be the most successful you can then with the rest of their time to make sure that they're learning to they're doing the they're doing obviously paying attention to their family uh and and and and not just growing by themsel so you can't really give like a uh one size fits all plan uh more precise than what I just gave you know anything else requires more details on the person itself and the business itself on the aspirations of the person itself you know ises this person need to move somewhere does this person need to make any major purchases this person is in a uh risky career problematic career are they married are they uh uh single are they uh with young kids are they with all older kids you know different people different circumstances you can't really give more specifics without knowing all those other details but whatever I can I just gave you now hi dear Raba you recently started to explain rambam's view on demons in response to people saying he doesn't believe in them can you please explain his view on this topic uh yes the rambam like any of the other sages believe in demons 100% uh there's it's verses in the Torah that talk about demons there's plenty of places in the and other parts of the oral Torah that talk about demons how shimai uh you know spoke and saw different demons and used them uh to uh to help uh uh convince the Roman Emperor to uh cancel a decree uh the schl was a uh king of all creatures including the demons but the uh one of the the king of the Demons uh was able to take revenge against schl and kicked him out of his castle across the world and it took schl seven years to come back to his kingdom some say he never came back and he died that way but either way how what happened to the king this demon became the king he actually uh uh became uh schl you turned himself to look like schl for a period of time uh and only after his mother Beva identified that uh he's really not schl that they realize there's a problem they realize there's a problem uh because he came on to her and he wanted to marry her even though she's he's her son so she realized there's something wrong here and then uh what they did is they put um uh they put a uh uh I believe it was either flour or salt on on the floor uh and uh without him knowing and then uh as soon as he walked out of the room they uh they went into the room and they saw the footsteps and they saw that the footsteps were like a chicken like a chicken like with the three fingers and they knew it was a demon and then they uh the guards said that there was a uh uh somebody at the gate somebody at the gate that's already been there for for a very long time saying but we didn't believe him and they brought him and that was so the point is is that demons are part of the Torah it's not a matter of believing or not believing if a person believes in a Torah demons are part of the Torah they're part of the written Torah they're certainly part of the oral Torah there are people that have seen them witnessed them today I mean so people that I know people that I I help uh so there's there's no question of the rambam believing or not believing in demons it's simply people don't know how to read and don't know how to understand the words of the sages that interpret things that he said what the rambam actually said is that he did not believe that there's any more specific type of of demon in the land of Israel not demons in general but specific type of demon in Israel because the decree on those is only in the Exile that's it he wasn't talking about mikim he wasn't talking about deim there are different types of demons there's ones that are uh completely spiritual the says there's one that's half man half Spirit there's one that's completely man meaning they eat they procreate they have kids uh they look like humans uh there's there's there's different types there's maik so the point is that this is a very very fundamental part of our Torah that it's of it's it's it's simply silly to even think that the rambam would just say I don't believe in all of it because that would literally it's it's it's in the written T it's it's being a in one of the verses in the T more than one verse in the T so what the rambam was simply saying is that there was a specific type of demons that are not in Israel not in the world in Israel in the land of Israel that's it rest of the world certainly has it rest of the world certainly has it but Israel has others too so that's that's the thing people that uh uh don't know how to learn they look for all types of uh um you know uh things that will cause a s and in reality all they show is how stupid they are when it comes to Torah they could be brilliant when it comes to uh their profession architecture or or or mathematics or science but it comes to to they they're so ignorant it's embarrassing uh but unfortunately the more ignorant usually the more public they are with their opinion like these uh fools that are doing a show now on on daily wire talking about God literally I don't even know if they know how to spell God but they're talking about God and what they believe it says in a Torah uh and just dumb dumb dumb things there's plenty of dumb people out there uh and uh and it's it's not it's not just ignorance it's literally foolishness that uh I don't know I don't know how to uh how to put it but they're just digging themselves a bigger and bigger hole because since they're public personalities or they're making you know their opinions public they do fool uh other ignorant people uh and cause them to uh cause them to sin cause them to distance themsel away from a Tor cause them to question the Torah uh because usually uh the Satan is very successful with uh confusing people uh that uh are uneducated so yeah that's that if we're saying a braa but we mispronounce a word for example I say uh instead of do I say the whole bra again or correct the misspoken word if you've already uh uh complet if it's before uh that you said the name of God uh then you could restart uh and the rare occasion that you can make a blessing before the name God uh if it's after you said the name of God uh then uh then you certainly don't make the blessing all over again that would be taking hashem's name saying hashem's name in vain uh but if you haven't completed the uh the sentence yet then you could correct yourself and complete if you've already completed it uh you completed the blessing but you remembered within two seconds that you made a specific mistake with a specific word you can correct those words but again without saying the name of God but it's only within 2 seconds if already you know 30 seconds or minute already passed then don't worry about it it's fine Hashem understands even our mistakes is it okay to pray to hem about time limit for example converting at such and such age no you don't give hem conditions uh is a woman who wears a long wig going to burn in gam even if they were Miss sled and think they are doing a mitvah the bab Shalom says that women that wear wigs will burn in Gom by the the fuel for Gom will be from their wigs so there are certainly some great that say yes they will burn and Gom with their wigs uh not everybody agrees with that some believe like what you said they're being misled but again there is just so much uh excuses that people have that they're going to be able to use uh the the misleading part uh is a uh is a little hard hard to to use throughout your entire life because if a person is about to buy a refrigerator or buy a car or buy a house or or or buy anything of value typically they do real research and uh if they would have done the same research on the wigs as they do on the refrigerator on a microwave on the type of notebooks they're going to buy for their kids or even a new computer or a new phone or needless to say a house and they did the same research on wigs they would clearly arrive at the conclusion that no one can mislead them they could simply know that this is not Kosher either because of the Pim uh the vast majority of P throughout all the generations both Safari and ashkanazi that forbid it or simply because of the fact that all real hair wigs in the market today are a part of idolatry simply I say all not because there is no except ceptions but rather the exceptions are so minute they're uh statistically inconsequential uh so there's such a not even 1% so unless you have three women that are willing to shave their head right in front of you and then give you that to make a wig you simply not going to have a wig that's coming from anything other than idolatry in India and that's just simply a reality and no one agrees that idolatry is allowed not to ashaz not toim not even toim so a woman that's going to look into the wig industry is going to be quick to find that it is impossible to find a uh real hair wig that's coming uh from any place other than India even if it has a tag that says Brazil or it says Mars doesn't make a difference they're all coming from India and we've have many many videos explaining why and who and what and all that stuff uh with pictures with uh with uh Witnesses uh with testimony even from the idol worshippers themselves that that work in those temples so the point is that a woman that is wearing these wigs if she did the research then she knew the truth if she didn't do the research then obviously she's going to have to have an answer of why why did she do research on shoes for three hours but she didn't do research on wigs for three hours when she wore the wig for 30 40 50 60 years why uh and the reality is that hasem is bringing this uh big lie to uh to to the face of people on a regular basis there's no woman out there uh that's wearing a wig that hasn't heard of the suspicion at the very least and accusations and supposable conspiracies or whatever you want to call it About Wigs no woman that's wearing a wig hasn't heard something about it not just for me r yashi r yashi literally pasin is not allowed to have these wigs people burn wigs in the streets and only until these invented a uh a uh a new market and said that you could caser the wig somehow which is obviously impossible um that uh you know people didn't have wigs they stopped wearing wigs for a short period of time but was too big yet was too big so point is that no one will have the ability to Simply say I uh I never knew I never heard and uh everybody fooled me it's just a uh it's no one can use that it's the same thing you could do about if you could do it with that you could do with everything else with shabat with a uh you know morality with idolatry with anything else ignorance is not uh an excuse that anybody can use not for the civil law and certainly not for the Torah law you know if you uh uh uh Drive really uh fast uh and uh police pulls you over and say oh I didn't know the speed limit is only 30 m an hour the police officer is not going to care if you drove 100 miles per hour at 30 you're getting arrested yeah but I didn't know ignorance is not an excuse can't use ignorance why when you drive a car and you have a license you are making a statement that you are responsible for your knowledge and therefore you not knowing is your fault when you live in this world world you are responsible for your knowledge you not knowing is your fault it's not anybody else's fault yeah but he misled me yeah but how come you didn't let the other people mislead you when it came to business when it came to things that you spend more time on why you didn't let anybody fool you to thinking that uh your kids drawings are really uh masterpieces that should be put into a museum even though they look better than what is in a museum you didn't let anybody fool you into that right but when it came to the Torah he told you listen you're going to heaven no matter what you let him fool you like doesn't add up doesn't add up so nobody could use this excuse in their life uh and certainly not uh to think for a second that's going to help them for this class my name is Joshua how to find out who I am and to fulfill my mission in the world uh very simple there is a uh General Mission and there's a uh uh a specific specific Mission the general mission for all Jewish people is to follow the tah and follow all of the MIT uh the specific uh mission is uh to fix certain things uh that are specific to you you know especially when it comes to character traits uh so the things that are most difficult for a person those are the ones that hasem says that's the ones that I want you to fix meaning if a person is uh very very lazy that's exactly what Hashem wants you to fix if a person is a uh uh very lethargic that's exactly what what hasm wants you to uh fix if a person is very stingy that's exactly what hasm wants you to fix all of the bad character traits uh are need to be fixed but which ones do I need to fix first the ones that stand out the most uh but then there's also other things uh for example somebody has a uh very big business uh that let's say he sells idols and then he realizes oh listen you know I uh Judaism doesn't really accept it maybe I try to figure out to make it work make it not work so this is a big test for them why because you're not allowed to worship idols you're not allowed to benefit from Idols in any way so you can't sell them or any so this guy's big test at that moment is to get rid of this business it's to get rid of this business which could mean a major Financial loss so for him it's also that and other people have other things everyone every one of us has major things we need to work on obviously a person uh knows what's their biggest test and uh right now work on that first after you finish that test I can assure you you'll have other tests once you get those other tests work on them after you complete that test work on the next one and life is one test after another the more tests you complete the more you are completing your mission can a wife wear a wig as long as she's inside our home if the wife is wearing a wig that is 100% synthetic uh then uh she can if she's if if she's home the problem is number one with synthetic is that even synthetics sometimes have uh real hair in them that's coming from idolatry uh two to 3% of it number two it's not really the ideal situation uh to have two different uh uh um uh images of yourself uh you know just a if it's only during a time that she's uh together with a husband alone yeah that's not a problem she doesn't need to wear wig she could just uh you know show her hair uh there's no need to RW uh but if it's you know around the kids and all that stuff then she's simply putting a stumbling block in front of herself because the kids are going to see her that way that everybody's going to see her that way she's going to get used to it it's going to become more and more difficult for her to cover her hair with with a with a scarf or a hat once she leaves the house so it's not a good idea um question about the source of the nature of the earth there is a growing number of people claiming that the Earth is flat or coming up with other theories While most rabbis maintain that the Earth is as well as uh taught is round are there any Torah sources that we can use to prove that it's it is or it isn't round or other specific form that you know of sure the uh talks about different uh statues that are forbidden uh and uh one of the things that uh you know it's forbidden to have a statues of a um Eagle of a bull of a lion uh and also of a complete human being uh and uh and some say no it's even if it's uh not complete but he's holding a ball why why this holding the ball thing uh he says because the idol worshippers of the past would uh have Idols where their uh there there's a person holding a ball as if their Idol is uh holding the world holding the world uh so from there say oh so we see that oh he's holding the world and the world is a ball the world is round there a sphere so that's one place that could remember off top of my head then you have also the where talks about how hasem created the world where uh I believe this also in the rambam uh but is all preceded the rambam and he writes of how the uh the world is created in such a fashion where the people uh on top of the world are uh uh you know have uh light while the people on the bottom of the world have Darkness uh you know at parts of the day they change while the one guy is standing uh at one side the other one is standing exactly the opposite meaning it's feet to feet uh and in so many words he describes how the world is a sphere uh and on and on now would I spend uh time uh researching this further and and just to prove them no for two reasons number one uh usually people that uh you know are prone to believing conspiracy theories are unchangeable they're they're they're worse than Fanatics they are people that have uh brainwashed themselves and uh they're simply uh not willing to change uh their belief because part of their belief is connected to the amount of effort they put into this belief since they research it for so long for you to tell them that it's wrong it makes them believe that oh then all of my workers for nothing no no no I'm not giving this up and they're going to fight just for the sake of defending their lies so to to deal with those people that believe the world is flat or that there's aliens and and uh there's a new world order that's taking over the world and all types of other mumbo jumbo things it's a complete waste of time that's number one number two there's noina meaning whether the world is round or the World is Flat it's irrelevant when it comes to following the tah you still have Shabbat you still have family Purity you still have to eat kosher you still have to learn to that's it finished the end so it doesn't really make a difference you want the world to be flat enjoy you want the world to be round enjoy it doesn't really make a difference it simply does not make a difference uh and uh uh the people that spend a lot of time uh uh you know talking about flat world and all that stuff usually they are um you know losers in life usually they're very big losers in life uh because they're exerting all of their powers into nonsense meaning that even if they're right there's no benefit this is one of the things we learn from the wife of onet when korak went against MOS Renu he had a uh uh uh people follow him 250 big rabbis following him and he also had certain leaders follow him now you had the which joined K going against mosu and then you also had on but onet was saved by his wife in the last minute where she told him listen why are you in this if mosenu is right then God's going to punish you and korak and everybody else if uh kak is Right nothing's going to change for you anyway it's not like you're going to be the new leader or the new Coen or new anything meaning right now we're living a happy life we're in a desert a is sending us food from sh everything is good the kids are good I'm good everything is good you have a life if K wins nothing's going to change for you you're not going to get any more Mone you're not going to get any more money you're not going to get any different position you're not going to become Co Gad nothing changes for you so why are you even in this what's the point there's no it's a purposeless fight for you K wants to fight he wants to be the leader that's that's his problem he at least has something to gain if he wins but you you have nothing to win and that's the problem with people that are in the conspiracy world they're so fanatic about their beliefs that the weather is changing and that the world is changing and the this is changing and and robots are going to take over the world and Aliens already control the world and uh the everything there's all this nonsense that people like even if you're right nothing changes you're not going to change the system you're not going to rule the system nothing will change in your life so it's literally the work of the Satan to get people busy with nothing absolute nothing go watch a 12h hour video about how the world is x amount of years old and there's what do I care what am I going to do with that information how is it going to affect my life go watch a three-hour video proving that the world is flat and you've been lied to so what if it's flat or if it's blue or if it's purple like what am I going to do if it's flat does that mean I could walk to Australia no if it's flat does that mean that I could just throw a ball and my son can catch it in in Israel no what changes in my life if the world is flat nothing nothing changes absolutely nothing this is the argument of crazy people the same thing with all these Corona people they keep sending emails and emails literally I I I would love to learn their their their expertise in spamming it doesn't matter how many times you block them somehow these emails keep coming and every one of them is either a rabbi or some religious leader or concerned citizen oh so many people have taken the vaccine and people are dying left and right I don't see anybody dying left and right I mean people live next to me I didn't see one person die nobody on the street dying nobody on the street all people dying yeah but they die anyway they die anyway there's literally tens of millions of people that die every single year why didn't you care until now if you look at the statistics how many people died this year versus last year versus the year before nothing changed nothing is no more or less than any other year nothing changed but now you're concerned oh it's the streets are full of blood because of people that what are you talking about these are all battles of the Satan to keep people busy and therefore away from the tah because he makes them believe that they're Heroes and they're discovering the truth that means nothing nothing literally it's like a person is given a job listen you have a very important role what's my role uh well your role is to keep pressing this button oh wow that's a what's going to happen oh no this button is the most important button in the world okay great I'm going to be the best at it and all day he presses the button press the button 20 years pass he presses the button the guy's coming hey how you doing what you doing I'm pressing ah you're good you're good you he's pressing he's not giving up he's pressing he's pressing he's pressing and one day one day his coffee spills on the table like ah man I got to clean this up okay so he cleans up and by mistake he pushes the thing that holds the button and it flops over to the right and he realizes that the button is not even connected to electricity it's not connected to the anything it's just a piece of plastic with a button on it that they bought from some toy store and he's been pressing this button for 20 years that is all of the conspiracy people whether they are from the Jewish world or non-jewish world that's their life they're pressing a meaningless button because even if you're right nothing changes nothing and guess what more times than not they're wrong which means that either way they live a lie they live a lie because they're wrong they live a lie because even if they're right nothing changes and therefore they're fighting for no reason whatsoever the Torah teaches us to only do purposeful things things that have a purpose beyond our life beyond our name beyond our family have a purpose that is connected to Eternity anything else is purposeless will the rabbi and the rabbi klan's books be translated to English eventually eventually is a very long time I can tell you this people don't understand how difficult it is to translate specific types of books I can't just go to Google Translate and just translate these things because there are specific language in the world of tah that the systems do have do not have the capability of translating and in fact even using translators is not an easy job like I have for example we're working on one book one Chua that we're having translated now we have a I gave it to a extraordinary Torah scholar to and I paid him lots of money to translate this thing he translated it right this is I don't know a chuva let's say it's 50 let's just call it 50 pages 55 pages okay now I have to now go over it because I speak English and Hebrew ra FR could only go over the Hebrew so there's no only I could do it because now each segment of let's say half a page have a page can take me anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes because I have to change things not just because of translation issues or grammatical issues or readability issues or simply sometimes there's missing information or sometimes there's a mistake so I'm working on this as often as I can I mean you could look at I'll show you this is on my desk anyway so I'll show you this is just one this is the most you know one page okay look this is what he translated look how many corrections I have here okay there's a you know over here there's another page there's another page translate now he's an extraordinary Torah scholar so there's no like oh he wrote allowed because it's not allowed no no this is like this is to translate Torah uh when especially when it comes to uh uh respons as you know the the the biblical language is no simple feat you know when you look at organizations like art scroll and uh you know they have teams teams of Scholars working on the same exact thing it's never just like one guy and it takes a long time and very very uh much time and resources here's another page this is the next page look how money directions I mean you can't see the the details but the point is is that this I have to work on and each one of these Pages can take me anywhere from half hour to an hour sometimes I could spend uh 40 minutes on a single on a single word because there isn't a perfect translation in in English for specific words in Hebrew or sometimes there is one and he just didn't use it and so the point is that to translate some of this stuff is very very difficult now if I was translating a very simple book uh to from English to Hebrew uh then that's certainly easier certainly easier but uh it still requires a lot of time and uh so translation if you don't have the resources then you're not going to be able to get the team and even if you have the resources it's very difficult to get good quality translators I'll tell you guys a little secret I already translated or had somebody translate my book first book that I wrote years ago um I had to translate it to to to English by somebody because I didn't have time to do it already I think before I even printed the Hebrew version before I printed the Hebrew version I get I you know I sent it to somebody I paid him some money and I had him translated he sent it back to me within the first chapter of the book I I threw it in the garbage chapter of the first chapter of the book I said this is going to require so much work for me to fix it I might as well do the whole thing myself I threw it in the garbage I have the file still on my computer but the point is that it's a uh I obviously figuratively speaking through in the garbage I didn't throw my book full to in the garbage but figuratively speaking I SP in the garbage why because to fix what he did it's going to take me as much time as what for me to do it myself so even though there some people tell you oh yeah I translate stuff it doesn't really mean that it's going to be up to speed I have this this one guy I got his book He's a in a uh speaker also in Hebrew and uh he wrote a well-known book in in in Hebrew and he had it translated to English and somebody gave it to me I opened this book and I said this is like what's going on with this translation like I thought it was just a few pages but then I started seeing this like the mistakes after mistakes things are not grammatically correct things are not written that way you don't write the way you speak you don't speak the way you write and then one day I I called the guy I called the and uh tell him listen I was thinking about getting some of the books maybe to distribute them or anything but uh wanted to talk to you about maybe translating goes oh no right away he didn't he's like no we we did a great job with the translation right and I didn't want to make him feel bad I'm like what do you mean cuz yeah I spent $117,000 getting that book translated and he's not exaggerating he's not exaggerating I'm I'm actually surprised that uh the uh that it cost only that little some of these translations cost you double that some less depending on who's translating and why and who but the guy that translated his job that guy's a thief why the translation is not even worth $5 because there's so many mistakes that it makes the book look bad it makes the material look bad and that's the problem now so that's again it's it's not an easy thing like there's software out there that translates stuff you can't use that for books if you want good quality you could use it for first edition and then you know fix everything but that's a lot of time and that's the last reason of why it's hard for us to get some of our stuff translated is because you have to not only have a command of Hebrew as well as a command in English as well as a you know relatively a good writing ability but you also have to have a command of Torah itself with specific laws specific understanding of them to actually know what's being written before it's written and last but not least you have to have a lot of time because translating takes a long time if you you're not going to be able to translate anything if you just sit there for 15 minutes at a time you have to put Slots of an hour two hours three hours at a time at least so it's very very hard for me to to to block out an hour out of my time is already a uh one of the most difficult things that uh for me to do people always say oh listen I want to talk to you on the phone I don't you don't understand I don't have five minutes five minutes I don't have unless it's urgent it's critical it's absolutely necessary and it cannot be done any other way I'm not getting on the phone or any calls why simple if it can be done another way that's more efficient I'm going to do it that way sometimes it cannot so I do it I I get on the phone I get on the conference call but generally speaking most things don't need they don't need these things so that's my point when it comes to uh uh translation one of the most uh uh difficult parts for me personally is time finding time to do it now I'm trying to build a team of people that are experts in technology and people that are experts in Translation those are two teams that I want to built it's I think it's easier to to build a a building of 500 stories than to build build either one of those teams for me at least it's hard to get good quality people a lot of people tell you they do one thing they don't do it some people are just delusional they think that they deserve a lot more than what they do so it just becomes not worth it or just sometimes you trust people and they just don't do the job so that's the thing so it's and even if they do you still have to you know go over it so I'm very particular and very perfectionist when it comes to to us so I'm not going to let a uh something that is not a quality come out I'm just not going to do it I'm not going to allow you know if if it's not if it's not a quality it's not coming out equality in Hebrew it came out in Hebrew can't get it in English when it done when we get we get so anyone that wants to understand to know as far as to the the books cost a fortune to translate a book can cost you a uh tens of thousands of dollars 20$ 30 $ 40 $50,000 depending on the type of book how big it is it's not like $5 not like you put it in the software and it does everything it's it's a lot now people say oh no I'll translate it on my own yeah you could translate it maybe it's good for a few videos and stuff like that but for for like a book it's it's a uh when it when it matters what it says every word matters you can't afford to do that you have to you know know that everything is 100% and that takes a lot of time so uh will we do it eventually I'm working on it work on some things but this is taking an enormous amount of time there other things taking aous time uh pray for me what could I tell you pray for me we're able to do some of this if someone is part of the Jewish community and sees that the rabbi is there honors Heretics such as uh should that person what should he do I mean listen it's it depends on what kind of community it has it depends what else the rabbi does what's good versus bad you can't just just because a person uh likes uh certain rabbis or certain speakers it doesn't make him all around bad uh sometimes people make mistakes some people don't know uh and uh but the good outweighs the bad so you can't just uh completely uh uh you know throw everybody in the garbage because of uh one uh defect that they have because quite frankly every one of us has a defect if not two or 10 or 50 so if a person is going to be so harsh with judgment on others they first have to be harsh with judgment on thems and if you're that harsh a judgment of yourself you're not going to survive because you're going to hate yourself and you're going to be miserable regardless so a person has to be a little bit uh more reasonable and have a little more patience and uh know whether things are critical or or not uh is there any particular sin or tun related to why people get migraines if so there's a way to identify tun need usually it's people that think things that are inappropriate think about adolat Tre think about immorality think about things that are heretical uh it's uh these are usually reasons for that uh it's it's things with the mind it's things with the what you think about if somebody wanted to convert to Judaism and finds it hard to convert for whatever reason and decides to choose Islam because it's not of willm punish him absolutely G to go to Gom and not come out um at what point should a Jew take on wearing and once they uh put it on once are they obligated to do so always uh says that people uh anytime somebody gets married they need to start putting on ra uh there's a lot of in that's very unique to usually people that study with they study with the so a person that uh uh is going to put on uh first of all they need to know the you know how to do it they need to ask the rabbi or or study about it of how to do it because there's no blessing when it comes to if you do a blessing it's taking aem's name in vain uh but needless to say if you're married uh and you're not new to Judaism you didn't convert like last week and you know you learned Torah and you you're keeping the basics and all that stuff uh then certainly uh uh should be added I would say ask the rabbi uh cuz he knows best where do you stand as far as uh uh if you're ready for it or not because you know sometimes a person takes on just starts doing Chua and uh you know a month after he's doing chuva he's already wants to fast twice a week that's obviously too much uh so again your Rabbi would know exactly where you stand um and uh is certainly uh if a person isn't let's say uh not a beginner and he's already established is already keeping he's already learning every day he's he's good uh and he's married he has to put on and uh it's not a matter of obligation it's it's it's a necessity number one it doesn't take very long uh number two it is adding extraordinary kha to a person's life that is not found anywhere else it's not found any wasse uh okay sikim I uh we're about 3 hours over already in I'll take one more question and I'm done because I have another shoe anyway uh what thank you for offering the free CDs and went to your wonderful bu gy website I could not find thank you for offering the free USB CDs to give in our communities I'm interested in doing that people I went to your website was website but I could not find the store I said the website kroof store.org KY roof store.org go to kroof store.org or you can just send me a text and I'll send you a link and uh it's a separate website it's not part of the main website it's a website that just has the free store uh as far as selling Idols a jeweler is allowed to sell these JC pieces that rappers like uh it's not just rappers that like them it's all types of Christians that like them uh it's not uh forbidden but it's not recommended because people don't worship those those crosses uh and uh therefore there's there no prohibition of owning a cross uh in fact rad Shalom was gifted across from I believe it was the Prince of Spain or the king of Spain uh and he kept it and uh you know when radya got sick there was a they went to some meal and the meal says oh he owns a cross that's why he's he has to throw it out they went to rad and they told him that's what the meal says who was himself the biggest meal uh says uh he's wrong ala allows it and if ala allows it there's no problem with it I'm not going to throw away the cross and I will get healthy that's exactly what happened he didn't throw away the cross and it got healthy now he got it as a gift so for him it was a souvenir uh and generally PE people that are you know I uh are buying these things they're not buying them as souvenirs but still they're not worshiping them they're not worshiping the cross so there's no prohibition of selling a cross to anybody but a Jew still should not do it because no blessing will come from it I told this one time to a uh somebody that was in a jewelry business uh and he told me yeah but I just I was just about to buy these two crosses from somebody they were a good deal and you know it just happened that it was on you know was talking to this person I told him no you shouldn't uh you shouldn't buy these crosses buy something else he didn't listen and he later on came up to me and he had the uh honesty in him to admit that he ended up
